Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 56 to 65

Though Edmund Halley was most famous because of his achievements as an astronomer, he was a scientist of diverse interests and great skill In addition to studying the skies, Halley was also deeply interested in exploring the unknown depths of the oceans One of his lesser-known accomplishments that was quite remarkable was his design for a diving bell that facilitated exploration of the watery depth The diving bell that Halley design had a major advantage over the diving bells that were in use prior to his Earlier diving bells could only make use of the air contained within the bell itself, so divers had to

surface when the air inside the bell ran low Halley’s bell was an improvement in that it allowed for an

additional supply of fresh air that enabled a crew of divers to remain underwater for several hours

The diving contraption that Halley designed was in the shape of a bell that measured three feet across the top and five feet across the bottom and could hold several divers comfortably; it was open at the

bottom so that divers could swim in and out at will The bell was built of wood, which was first heavily

tarred to make it water repellent and was then covered with a half-ton sheet of lead to make bell sank to the bottom

The air inside the bell was not the only source of air for divers to breath, and it was this improvement that made Halley’s bell superior to its predecessors In addition to the air already in the bell, air was also supplied to the divers from a lead barrel that was lowered to the ocean floor close to the bell itself Air flowed through a leather pipe from the lead barrel on the ocean floor to the bell The divers could breathe the air from a position inside the bell, or he could move around outside the bell wearing a diving suit that consisted of a lead bell-shaped helmet with a glass viewing window and a leather body suit with a leather pipe carrying fresh air from the diving bell to the helmet

Question 56: Which of the following best expresses the subject of this passage?

A Halley’s different interests B Halley’s invention of a contraption for diving

Question 58: The expression ran low in the passage is closest in meaning to _

Question 59: How long could divers stay underwater in Halley’s bell?

A Only a few minutes B For days on end C just a few seconds D For hours at a time

Question 60: It is NOT stated in the passage that Halley’s bell _

A could hold more than one diver B was wider at the bottom than at the top

Question 61: The expression at will in the passage could be best replaced by _

Question 62: It can be inferred from the passage that, were Halley’s bell not covered with lead, it

would _

A suffocate the divers B get wet C trap the divers D float

Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than speech A little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing is secondary in language Human beings have been writing (as far as we can tell from surviving evidence) for at least 5000 years;

but they have been talking for much longer, doubtless ever since there have been human beings

When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, although imperfectly Even today, there are spoken languages that have no written from Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before

we learn to write; any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk: a normal human being cannot be prevented from doing so On the other hand, it takes a special effort

to learn to write; in the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and

even today many who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who learn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly

To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to disparage to latter One advantage

writing has over speech is that it is more permanent and makes possible the records that any civilization must have Thus, if speaking makes us human, writing makes us civilized

Question 71: The word doubtless in the passage mostly means _

A almost uncertainly B almost impossibly C almost doubtfully D almost certainly

Question 72: In order to show that learning requires effort, the author gives the example of _

A intelligent people who could not write B severely handicapped children

C people who speak many languages D people who learn the rudiments of speech

Question 73: The following statements are true EXCEPT _

A Every spoken language has written form

B Writing was derived from speech

C Men have been writing for at least 5000 years

Question 74: The author of the passage argues that

A all languages should have written forms

B writing has become too important in today’s society

C everyone who learn to speak must learn to write

D speech is more basic to learn than to write

Question 75: The word disparage in the passage mostly means

A think that something is more important

B think about something carefully

C make something more important

D suggest that something is not important or valuable

Question 76: According to the passage, writing _

A represents speech, but not perfectly B developed from imperfect speech

C is imperfect, but less so that speech D is represented perfectly by speech

Question 77: The word acquire in the passage mostly means _

A become aware of something by hearing about it

B gain something by our own efforts or ability

C develop a natural ability or quality so that it improves

D help somebody learn something by giving information about it

Question 78: In the passage, the author judges that

A writing has more advantages than speech

B speech conveys ideas less accurately than writing does

C writing is more real speech

D speech is essential but writing has important benefits

Question 79: According to the author, one mark of society is that it _

C teaches its children to speak perfectly D affirms the primacy of speech over writing

Question 80: According to the passage, speech began to exist in our life

A just when human being appeared

B when human beings were able to communicate in writing

C when writing became important in our culture

D at least 5000 years ago
